Randa Abdel-Fattah, adored author of young adult fiction has just published her first novel for adults, No Sex in the City and will be speaking about it at Fullers Bookshop on Friday, September 21 at 5.30pm.
No Sex in the City is the story of 28-year-old Esma, a cultured young Australian woman, armed with a personalised check-list for Mr Right – who must be Muslim.
Her earlier YA novel Where the Streets had a Name is set in Palestine and Does my Head Look Big In this? follows the story of Amal, a seventeen year-old Australian-Palestinian_Muslim still trying to come to grips with her “various identity hyphens.”
Randa lives in Sydney with her husband and two children and works as a litigation lawyer.
She is frequently sought for comment by the media on issues pertaining to Palestine, Islam or Australian Muslims.
She has appeared on SBS’s Insight, ABC’s First Tuesday Book Club, ABC’s Q & A, Channel 7’s Sunrise and Channel 10’s 9am.
She is visiting Tasmania as part of the federal government’s Get Reading scheme.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event though reservations are essential [email protected]
